Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel-Chapter 667 - 376: I Will Become... a Ginseng Fruit

Chapter 667: Chapter 376: I Will Become... a Ginseng Fruit

It was an incomparably dazzling, yet warm entity, with a luminous jade-like brilliance.

It was utterly out of place amidst the hazy grey scenery of the chaos.

It was so bright and warm that even just gazing upon its presence made one feel entirely at ease, with an impulse to merge into its light.

As it moved towards this place, everything along its path dissolved within its shadow and light, leaving no trace of ’existence’ itself.

Its peculiar nature made all cultivators who witnessed its arrival quite anxious.

"Isn’t that thing supposed to manifest only during Divinity Transformation?"

"Why has it appeared even before the Nascent Soul is achieved?"

"It actually exists here."

Those who spoke first were naturally the cultivators from Qiongguan Mountain, always observing the world through the Ten Directions Reflective Array.

They were seasoned observers of all matters.

The most comprehensive historical tomes in the Tao Furnace Realm were kept by them, and it was their duty to report matters to the Upper Realm, as well as gathering information about the Chaotic Outer Domain.

They could even establish shadows of various worlds from some messages, deducing the futures that those worlds might experience.

And the ’jade’ was an entity they had previously deduced, yet it was something they loathed intensely.

Even with the resources of the Tao Furnace Realm, they couldn’t uncover its origins.

However, its rare appearances caused immense harm, and it couldn’t be curtailed even with several Divinity Transformations joining forces.

It...

fed on the Nascent Soul Tao Fruit of cultivators.

Once it appeared, it was nearly impervious to all laws, consuming everything until it departed, satisfied.

Thus...

When it emerged.

A surge of exceedingly powerful spiritual power erupted from the Tao Furnace Realm—a lotus bud sparkling with a violet-golden thunderbolt arose from the earth of the Eastern Domain, directly striking towards the ’jade.’

Wherever it passed.

The space was fracturing and reconstructing.

Unable to bear the might it brought.

"Heavenly Lightning of Slaughter?"

"The Four Seasons Sect is this desperate."

"...But will it work?"

The three sword cultivators who initially planned to act exchanged a glance and continued accumulating spiritual power without directly intervening.

They all understood the renown of the Heavenly Lightning of Slaughter.

It was a special Dharma method imparted by the Thunder Department Heavenly Venerate of the Upper Realm, considered one of the trump cards of the Four Seasons Sect, capable of blasting open even the Tao Furnace Realm.

So can it resolve this?

Everyone was quietly anticipating.

However... as the lotus approached the ’jade’ it began to wither, the thunderbolt composed of countless runes flickered with a radiant light before extinguishing.

Then, it transformed into a mist and merged into the ’jade.’

As if it had never appeared.

The ’jade’ continued advancing leisurely, approaching Li Ye, who was seated amidst the chaos, sitting under the tree, holding the Golden Core.

It’s precisely this pressure it brought that was overwhelmingly intense.

Terrifying indeed!

"..."

This scene plunged all those witnessing into silence.

If not for knowing the Four Seasons Sect would never use a counterfeit for amusement, they really might suspect this was just a sophisticated firework.

Yet the Four Seasons Sect seemed to have anticipated this.

When the Heavenly Lightning of Slaughter was devoured, the second wave of offense from the Four Seasons Sect arrived.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

These were ongoing chiming sounds transmitted across.

Each chime resonated with transformations across the twenty-four solar terms of the four seasons, spreading like a magnificent painting, covering hundreds of miles of empty space, gently attempting to envelop the jade. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Twenty-Four Solar Terms Diagram?"

"I’ve never seen the Four Seasons Sect bring this out."

"They actually kept this hidden from us brothers and sisters!"

The cultivators from Bitter Journey Academy muttered in frustration, a bit irked since this object had associations with them, gifted personally by one of their ancestors named Wu to the Four Seasons Sect.

But over the years, the Four Seasons Sect never showed it, and even their indirect inquiries yielded no results.

Unexpectedly, they’ve finally displayed it.

This object, with the profound aspects of the twenty-four solar terms’ transformations, was indeed a consumable item, and since elder Wu’s demise, once used, it would truly cease to exist.

The methods and means to craft the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Diagram would become lost.

They almost wished to snatch it back quickly and confront the jade themselves—they indeed had some methods for facing the ’jade.’

While they muttered—

"Screech!"

The scroll depicting the four seasons and twenty-four solar terms was directly crushed by the jade, not a hint of spiritual light escaped, turning into nothingness almost instantly.

Bitter Journey Academy: "..."

They felt their hearts bleeding.

That was Wu Mister’s last true work left under the heaven, and it was gone just like that?

Yet for the Four Seasons Sect, this was no pain nor itch.

They indeed held the deepest reserves in the world—as the scroll shattered, dozens to hundreds of assorted treasures flew out, emitting various colors of spiritual light with power at least above Divinity Transformation.

It was clearly a display of wealthy arrogance.

And their intention apparently was not to destroy the ’jade,’ but to aid Li Ye in breaking the core to condense the Nascent Soul, from nothing to existence.

The fact was such indeed.

If a battle erupted here, spiritual power might spill over, potentially interrupting Li Ye’s advancement to the Nascent Soul.

It was better to keep watch, until Li Ye formed the Nascent Soul, then the difficulty could naturally be resolved.
